What penguins in the Northern Hemisphere?
quote: Galapagos penguin: Since they can range to the northernmost reaches of the chain, above the equator, they are the only penguins whose natural habitat is in the Northern Hemisphere.
Coincidence: I had to leave work early yesterday to rescue my sister-in-law whose car broke down while visting my wife. My wife then drove her back home (35 miles) to take her 8 yr old daughter to BirdWorld where it had been arranged for her to feed the penguins. The daughter thanked me by phone for making it possible and I asked her about the Northen Hemisphere penguins, and she came up with the Galapogos, though she did point out it was a technicality. I googled and found it at http://www.junkscience.com/news2/penguins.htm
But trying to claim we topsiders have penguins because of that is like Britain trying to claim mineral and fishing rights in the Atlantic because of sticking a flag on Rockall (named because there is Rock all there).
